The Creatures Great & Small Initiative
The President and Founder of Seawolf Enterprises felt it only right that if borrowing this powerful mammal’s likeness for profit, we should do something to ensure its survival. Our efforts go beyond a pet project: at Seawolf, we won’t ignore the link between species conservation and ourselves. If cetaceans were to die out, our food chain would be irrevocably damaged, and therefore, so would our own survival. Cetaceans must not only be protected, but allowed to swim wild, free from captivity.
The Creatures Great & Small Initiative aims to educate and empower the public to work with local, national and international governments to promote the conservation of orcas and all cetaceans, including their freedom from captivity. Through our lobbying and grassroots efforts, we’ll assist other scientific organizations working to ensure the survival of the imperiled Southern Resident Orcas-America’s sole resident orca pod. Valuing the lives of all animals, as well as the important role pets play in our lives, Creatures Great & Small is not limited to any one species, and its advocacy is based on the needs of our nonprofit clients.

Campaigns
Seawolf’s President & CEO has an extensive volunteer background in animal welfare, and has dedicated much of her free time helping animals, with the belief that they simply deserve better. As such, Seawolf Inc. was founded with the intent that we will always dedicate some amount of our company’s bandwidth to protecting animals, be it lobbying or grassroots development. Below are some of the initiatives our CEO has been a part of, which should demonstrate not only her passion to the cause, but qualifications to lead on the topic.
ASPCA – Young Leaders’ Council
The Young Leaders' Council develops the next generation of animal welfare advocates by engaging members with the ASPCA's mission and programs. Members are involved in the ASPCA's education, advocacy and fundraising efforts and participate in a variety of activities including workshops with senior ASPCA leadership, advocacy and programmatic work that advances the ASPCA's mission and organizing events to raise awareness and funds.
We raised several thousand dollars for the organization annually, and volunteered in the neediest parts of New York City, bringing spay and-neuter services, immunizations and educational programs into low-income neighborhoods where pets would otherwise not have financial access to this care.
Humane Society of the United States’ “Pets for Life” Program:
Hotline volunteer
Many pet owners in the United States face immense financial and geographic barriers in accessing veterinary and pet care services. Pets for Life transcends socio-economic, racial, ethnic, and geographic boundaries by providing economic access to veterinary care for those unable to do so on their own.
Pets For Life closes the service gap that exists for people and pets in underserved areas, and brings awareness to larger systemic inequities and injustices. Poverty and structural inequality create obstacles to affordable veterinary and pet wellness services similar to the challenges and barriers to accessing healthy food, education, jobs, health care and housing. With tens of millions of pets living with families in poverty, the extreme lack of access to pet resources is an overlooked national crisis.
Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals – “TAILS” member
The Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals is committed to seeing the day when no New York City dog or cat of reasonable health and temperament is killed merely because he or she does not have a home. TAILS (Towards Animals in Loving Spaces) was a group of young New York philanthropists who worked with the Mayor’s Alliance to help achieve its goal of transforming NYC into a no-kill community by 2015. We worked all year on multiple events, our biggest of which was "Creatures' Ball", the annual Halloween Gala. Funds raised here went specifically to run the “VACANCY” advertising campaign promoting pet adoption, which ran throughout the NYC subway. The series of intriguing print ads posed a simple question to subway riders: Is there room in your life for a homeless pet?
